| | 176 | === Spiral 3 Roadmap === |
| | 177 | |
| | 178 | This roadmap shows the original and *current goals that apply to the GENI WiMAX projects: |
| | 179 | |
| | 180 | |
| | 181 | Install and bring up WiMAX base station kit, including the ASN Gateway. (GEC10, or earlier) |
| | 182 | |
| | 183 | Evaluate range and thoughput of WiMAX base station kit and Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card and/or mobile station used for for experiments. (GEC10, or earlier) (GEC11) |
| | 184 | |
| | 185 | Install and bring up an instance of OMF/OML. (GEC10, or earlier) (*GEC11) |
| | 186 | |
| | 187 | Operate and maintain the WiMax BS and the related GENI controller, using ORBIT Management Framework (OMF), with support for remote access by GENI users. (GEC11) |
| | 188 | |
| | 189 | Present a mobility demo using WiMAX base station node, including the ASN Gateway, a Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card, or the dual-mode vehicular nodes, supporting both WiFi and WiMAX, required for your experiments, and a local instance of OMF/OML. (GEC10) (*GEC11) |
| | 190 | |
| | 191 | Install and bring up experiment-controlled L2 (or OpenFlow) switch, to provide enhanced connectivity from the WiMAX testbed to the GENI backbone. (GEC11) (*GEC12) |
| | 192 | |
| | 193 | Install and bring up Virtual Base Station (vBS)server, to support multiple simultaneous experiments (slicing) on the GENI WiMAX base station node. (GEC11) (*?) |
| | 194 | |
| | 195 | Present mobility and/or application demos/experiments, showing support for multiple simultaneous experiments (slicing) of the GENI WiMAX base station node, and remote access by GENI users, utilizing experiment-controlled L2 (or OpenFlow) switch, and Virtual Base Station (vBS) server. (GEC11) (*?) |
